steps here ... so will believe its strawberries π |
Ingredients:
Strawberry - 5-6 medium sized cut into small pieces.
Garlic flakes - 6
Tamarind - 1"ball piece
Pepper corn - 6-8
Jeera / Cumin - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/3 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - few
Coriander leaves - few say 6-8 strands
Asafoetida / Hing - a small pinch
Sugar - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Salt to taste.
I do not do the seasoning / tadka but you may do it in the beginning or add it in the end.
Mustard - 1 tsp
Whole red chilies -2
Curry leaves
Cooking oil - 2tsp
Method:
Crush the pepper and jeera and keep aside.
Dissolve tamarind in hot water give it a good squeeze so it dissolves , keep this ready for rasam.
Heat a pan add 2 tsp of cooking oil add the garlic when it is slightly cooked add the strawberry pieces,turmeric powder,red chili powder, salt pepper and jeera crushed.Give everything a toss. Cover and cook for two minutes. The strawberry will turn mushy immediately add the tamarind water and discard pulp.When the rasam boils add the asafoetida powder and curry leaves. When the raw smell goes off add coriander leaves and sugar switch off flame .Keep it covered until served.
Serve strawberry rasam along with rice and other side dishes.
** A tiny pinch of sugar will balance of all the tartness in the curry its optional but tastes good.
Hope you like it.

How does it taste? Don't you taste strawberry in it? Anyways the Rasam looks just like tomato rasam and I am sure if your daughter didn't detect the difference, its hard for adults to figure it out as kids got more sensitive taste buds.

Walla! What an invention. Rasam is our all time fav - whichever type. I won't say I will try your recipe because I don't berries. Rather expensive over here and not the best ones.
